What is the recruitment process?We will review all applications for The Zoo Project. The 'Dragons' will assess which applications have been approved and confirm the 2015 Zoo Project residents.

Will I receive any feedback to my application?We will be in touch with all parties once applications have been received to confirm receipt of your completed entry. Once your application has been reviewed, we will notify you as to whether you have been successful and we are more than happy to provide feedback if requested.

Will there be a face-to-face interview if I’m successful?If you’re application is successful, you will be invited to meet with The Zoo’s panel of 'Dragons' to outline your business plan, strategy, ideas and future aspirations. It gives all parties a real opportunity to meet on a more personal setting and further understand your passion for your business.

What if I don’t have a Business Plan? Can I still apply to be a Zoo resident?Yes! At the end of the day you just need a good idea and be ready and you need to be motivated to make it work. Please feel free to complete an application giving as much detail as possible and we will review your entry.
